This compilation is the result of our effort to map out the artistic field of experimental short film and its intense dynamic during the last year in Latin America. A selection of shorts that combine different sights, sounds, and stories from the south.
The works in this program define trends in the technical, narrative, material, and sensorial/affective dimensions including a visually bewitching and disturbing film poem, which remains reserved and vague, constituting its fascination and magic; A collage of current and archive images (Super 8 and digital) narrated by the significant speech of the poet Fausto Fawcett, and sonorized by the musician Arnaldo Brandão; Rituals of a group of Mexican ‘bird men” dying to create life at the basis of their mysterious practices in a mountainous landscape of meteorite craters, tropical rain and red earth; Three siblings with different gender identities and sexual orientations bring us into their world during São Paulo's LGBT Pride Month.
Get ready to be immersed in a world of Sensorial Dimensions.

Tertiary
Director: Rodrigo Andres Valenzuela | Country: Chile, U.S.A | Year: 2018 | Length: 3min | Genre: Fiction
Synopsis:Tertiary is a meditation on the presence of minorities in cinema and the implicit biases of technology (face detection, autofocus and artificial intelligence) in its relationship with brown and black bodies.
Throughout the narration, dialogs and particular camera move Tertiary offers linkage between semantic and visual self-consciousness of the video piece. The camera travels around a group people having internal monologues on power, agency and privilege while the camera on autofocus has its own agency privileging lighter skin color and keeping people of color as background characters within their own discourse.
